Where do the laws in Australia come from?
Present a succinct answer with reference to historical facts.
In 1788 when Australia was discovered, we adopted the British legal system from Sir Arthur Philip; that each state was a separate colony. In 1901 when the Commonwealth of Australia was founded we attained our own Constitution with federal levels of government and a High Court to be used for appeals from the Supreme Court and as an adjudicator of constitutional questions (Week 2 MLE Lecture Notes).
Referendums are “a vote of the Australian people on measures proposed or passed by the Australian Parliament” (Australian Electoral Commission, 2014). Any proposed change to the Australian Constitution must be put to a vote of all Australian voters in a referendum.
In relation to media, the laws come from the regulators, the industry bodies and the broadcasters. They are “independent statutory bodies given powers under federal government legislation” (Week 1 MLE Lecture Notes).
The Constitution gives the Commonwealth control over corporations and their trade, to regulate print media and foreign ownership of media. (Week 1 MLE Lecture Notes).
In October 2006, Australian Parliament passed legislation for new medialaws, which subsequently commenced in 2007....

...﻿Folk Media
According to Forcucci (1984), "folk music has been with us since the dawn of history" (p. 16). However, it was not until the early 1900s that scholars began to consider folk music as a legitimate facet to be studied as a part of a culture. The definition of folk music has undergone debate for many years.
A broad general definition of "folk" music is that it is music of the "folk" or of the people.
These folk are sometimes identified as the rural or peasant people of a country (Nettl & Myers, 1976), although Rhodes (1966) believed that folk music exists in all classes of society. Sometimes the folk are considered a particular ethnic group or nationality (Nettl & Myers, 1976).
Folk Media is the creative dissemination of information through cultural and performance arts. In traditional societies, folk media: drama, skits, poems, stories, riddles, songs and dance have been popularly and successfully used to disseminate messages and even to pass on wisdom of older generations to the youth.
In different societies the use of folk media is seen in circumcision, betrothal and marriage ceremonies, cleansing and funeral rituals and in all forms of entertainment and festivals. Today the same media can be used for community motivation, mobilizing support and participation in programmes and at the same time for entertainment.

...Role and Functions of LawLaw plays an important role in how societies and businesses function. There are rules and laws for just about everything. If there were no rules or laws in place, society as we know it would not exist. Businesses would be much different than the ones we see today. The Laws intent is to provide fairness, equality, and justice. It provides protection, settles disputes, and enforces consequences for breaking the law. Everyone is subject to the law, which means it does not matter if a person is rich or poor, young or old. Every person has equal rights. Laws regulate acceptable social behaviors in society and acceptable practices within businesses. According to "Law and The Rule of Law" (2012), “Laws protect our general safety, and ensure our rights as citizens against abuses by other people, by organizations, and by the government itself” (3).
A society is made up of many different kinds of people, such as different cultures, backgrounds, religions, beliefs, and so on. The laws functions are to create an even playing field, so that all individuals are considered equal despite their differences. Laws protect our rights as citizens. Laws allow citizens to have freedom of speech and freedom of expression as long as those beliefs do...

Role and Function of Law
To better understand the role and function of law one must understand both the federal court and state court structures. The federal court structure is a three-part configuration; the top court is the United States Supreme Court, which is the top court in the federal judicial system. Additionally, many refer to the Supreme Courts as "the highest court in the land", because it has the definitive authority to consider appeals in virtually all cases ruled upon in the federal court system. The Supreme Court can also sit in judgment of certain appeals from each state’s Supreme Courts. These involve a federal inquiry, for instance, a dispute encompassing a federal statute or on involving the Constitution of the United States. Additionally, the Supreme Court maintains a restricted “original jurisdiction” over certain cases. Even so, less than 100 cases are essentially listened to and ruled on by the Supreme Court during a given year ("Appellate Court", 2015).
The second part of the three-part structure is the Federal Courts of Appeal. The Federal Courts of Appeal are separated into twelve distinctive regions including the District of Columbia circuit, more commonly identified as circuit courts ("Structure of the Federal Courts", n.d.). These circuit courts are only appellate...

Thus, resulting in the production of goods and services that the market demands. They operate within a framework of law and regulation set by government officials on local, city, and state levels. These laws, regulations, and policies serve as the code of conduct for market actors and their conduct. The sole purpose of these corporations is to produce goods, services, and jobs in order to produce an end of profits. The success of these corporations depend on the company to remain competitive and efficient. The primary goal and motivating force for business organizations is to maximize profits and maintain efficiency. “Business is said to be a game in which the aim is to gain as much profit as possible, while staying within ‘the rules of the game’“(Boatright John, 2012), which is the law. On these grounds business justifies their legitimacy, their conduct, and their decision making process. But, society is standing up and saying, ‘no, business has several responsibilities… not only to shareholders, stakeholders, investors, suppliers, and manufacturers, but also to its employees and to the society as a whole.
The image of business has changed dramatically over the last twenty or so years. Business deals used to be made with just a handshake, the quality of goods and products were made...
